"One of the main objections in the petition is about receiving only 20 per cent of the amount under the Central Scheme for Education for Minorities and the rest is being given to another minority community. This is unfair. They said that justice is denied even in matters related to minorities. Everyone should be given equal justice," he added.

Pillai is currently on a visit to Kerala. (ANI)
